@manton I am so so sorry to hear about your mother passing. Please accept my deepest condolences. And how wonderful that you and your family got to spend those last few weeks together, at home. A small treasure, I’m sure. s your memories will be over the coming months.
Thank you again for all your time and effort with Mirco Blog, I for one am happy with the platform, and have no intention of leaving. It’s still one of the best indie places to blog and to connect. Long may it be so.
@manton my condolences, Manton. I felt emotional just reading this. Let the tree grow fast and strong.
@manton My deepest condolences.
I know all too well how you feel. My dad died two years ago, shortly after my 40th birthday. It’s hard, incredibly hard.
I wish you lots of strength!
@manton so sorry to hear about this. Your work has meant a lot to me over the years. From longer posts to the single photos. My wife makes fun of me for getting so much joy out of the photos of iced coffee you post, the small mundane things in my RSS feed help me appreciate everything around me.
@manton Bless you, Manton. May you have peace in your grief. And may you someday sit in the shade of that oak and remember your mom with gratitude.
@manton Oh, man. I’m so sorry to hear about this. I know myself how tough this one is. My condolences for your loss. Take the time you need to sit with it. We will all still be here after.
@manton Sorry for your loss Manton, a tree is a wonderful way to remember her. I lost my uncle recently, but even to the end he was so upbeat in regard to hearing everything all of us cousins were up to.
I’m sure your mom was happy knowing that you are working on something you are so passionate about, and with the family you’ve built.
@manton I’m so sorry Manton. Parent loss is one of the most difficult things we must endure. Peace to you and your family.
@manton 💙 Thank you for everything you do and the thoughtfulness with which you do it. Your mom raised you right.
@manton I’m so sorry for your loss. Your oak tree is such a lovely way to remember her and mark her passing.
@manton Manton, my condolences on the loss of your mother. I sensed that something significant was happening when you kept mentioning your mother, the hospital, and other things. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help, even if it’s just to lend an ear.
@manton My best to you and your family.
The tree is such a wonderful idea that I think I will do the same when my Mom or Dad pass on. ♥️
@manton My condolences for the loss of your mother. What you wrote was beautiful and I hope that the tree you planted grows strong and can give you peace and shade for many years to come.
@manton I'm so so sorry for your loss, Manton. I always struggle to find the right words in these situations, so I'll just leave it there. Please know you're in my thoughts.
@manton Manton, this is hard. I’m very sorry for your loss. As my Jewish friends say so beautifully, “May her memory be a blessing.”
@manton I’m sorry for your loss.
How precious that you could spend that time with your mother. I’ve lost my mother to illness during Covid, being far away, and it was terrible.
Thank you for your work at Micro.blog and hope you can enjoy sitting under the shade of that oak soon enough.
@manton I am really sorry for your loss. The tree is a beautiful way to acknowledge the loss and celebrate your marriage.
@manton I’m so sorry for your loss, Manton. 😔
I hope that, in time, you find peace and comfort in the memories of her. 🫂
@manton I am so sorry for your loss. Sending my condolences. And thank you for all your work on Micro.blog. 7 years and counting for me, I think. Much gratitude. 🙏🏻

the tree is lovely though. and congratulations on the half century mile marker.
@manton Sad to hear this. Thanks for sharing this reflection and note to breathe during difficult times. Praying for peace.
@manton My deepest condolences on your loss, Manton. I hope you find strength and comfort in the precious memories of your mum. Planting trees is such a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate her life and keep her legacy alive.
@manton My deepest condolences, Manton. I lost my Mum 17 years ago now, but I think it’s safe to say it changes your life forever. Take the time you need - and you will need it. And more than you think. All my sympathies to you and your family.
@manton So sorry to hear about your loss Manton. My deepest condolences. Thanks for sharing this and how you are processing your loss.
@manton I am so sorry and wish you peace. I lost my mom right before my first daughter was born and even now 26 years later there are still little things that bring a wave of memories back. The echos of her life continue to resonate for me and I wish the same to you and your family. Treasure the echos.
@manton I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. My heart goes out to you. I lost mine this year as well. We lost my dad in 2007. Having been able to witness both of them pass was such a blessing.
@manton I’m so sorry to hear about this. I hope you have much to celebrate when you think of her life. Thanks for sharing this with us.
@manton Sorry to hear of your Mom, my condolences. I hope you get to sit under the shade of the oak tree with your family and remember her together.
@manton Thanks for writing this. I know you usually don’t share to this level, and I’m glad you did. I’m very sad to read this, and at the same time, I’m happy you’re here and sharing with us.
I hope I don’t sound like a cliché when I say I feel like a better person today because of you and what you do. I write more and explain more and share more. I’m more compassionate with people online. I have stronger beliefs than I did before about the web. And I’m proud to be part of what you built here, as little as I contribute.
Thank you for all you do. You really make a difference, Manton. Thank you.
@manton My deepest condolences, Manton. Having recently lost a family member I can imagine a part of the pain you’re going through, but I also know we all grieve in our own way and every loss is unique. I really appreciate providing MB to nurses for free — I so appreciate the care that was provided to my sister in her final days. Good luck reducing and concentrating more, I’m sure you won’t regret it.
@manton I’m very sorry for your loss. Your care for her these past months is a powerful testament to your love.
